  Leonidas (ΛΕΩΝΙΔΑΣ): "son of the lion" 540-480 BC), was the legendary king of the
  Greek city-state of Sparta.
  In the summer of 480 BC, he and his 300-member royal guard fought to the last man against the invading Persian army at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece.
  Xerxes, the king of Persia, believing that the Greeks would surrender sent his heralds to the Greeks, asking for their weapons, as a sign of submission. It was then that Leonidas said the historical phrase "Come and get them" ( "ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ") declaring the beginning of the battle.
  Leonidas died at the battle and entered myth as the leader of the 300 Spartans.
  The Spartan king who stands against the invading Persian army is one of the enduring tales of Greek heroism, invoked throughout Western history as the epitome of bravery exhibited against overwhelming odds, and gave rise to the legend that Spartans never surrendered.
  
  The shield measures 33.5 cm round
  Weight: 920 gr approx.
  As this item is handmade, the dimensions, surface texture, and verdigris patina may vary slightly.
